Take a Journey

The Springtime Steps were developed as a Bible Engagement program for Catholic laity. The steps with corresponding scripture references encourage Catholics to reflect on how they might build a new springtime as they engage in daily reading of the Holy Bible.

It is an honor and a joy to propose to this Ecumenical Summit of Springtime of the Faith some reflections on the role of each baptized person in promoting Christian unity. We shall begin by recalling the will of Christ for the unity of his Church, the sad fact of divisions arising between his followers and therefore the urgency of ecumenism. Thanks to God, there are many signs of the desire for Christian unity today and a growing recognition of the call of every Christian to contribute to it. A listing of what each person can do and some fruits to be hoped for, will conclude these reflections.
